To be fair, I do think the full title of the book ("Irreversible Damage: The Transgender Craze Seducing Our Daughters") is clickbait-ey and was chosen to generate controversy (far more than the content of the book itself ought, which is quite reasonable in tone). I don't disagree with the accuracy of the title, but it seems to me the wording chosen meant it was pretty much a given it would create this kind of outrage due to the title alone.

I agree. Unfortunately, the author of a book often doesn't get full say over their title; perhaps the publishing house had some influence there? I kind of get why people might have a knee-jerk reaction to it just from the title. (And not even mentioning, young girls are not the only demographic being harmed by the stereotypes and medical malpractice encouraged by the transgender movement.)
